The Cincinnati Reds lost a few players to the World Baseball Classic, but some of the remaining have been on fire while others can’t wait for spring to end.
Cincinnati came into the spring as the favorites to win the NL Central, and the team doesn’t have many available spots left on the 25-man roster.
With that said, the few position battles going on have been put under the microscope. The backup catcher spot is starting to work itself out, but the battle for the utility role has only brought out the best in each candidate.
The Reds had a couple of games get rained out, but they did get to go up against Canada last week.
Less than three weeks remain until Opening Day, so let’s check out who is hot and who is not.
